Eric,
It *could* be (difficult to judge from remote) that one of the display driver circuits is faulty. If a line driver of a matrix display dies on you, you can end up with a "always-on" row or column. At least on standard LCD panels this can happen (I am speaking from experience here with laptop LCDs). The LCD failure mode is most often a red, green or blue line, sometimes a couple of lines in multiple colors. The latter typically happens due to dropping the display. I am not familiar with OLED technology, maybe the grey line can be explained with a similar story.
Anyway, just a guess here. I would check with Hasselblad tech support. That the files are OK means the line is purely a display thing, not a sensor thing. Fortunately I guess.

Nice picture of the CWD on the table. But the truth should be the camera with the battery fitted. -Ready to shot ! -

Today I have done many tests with a SWC-C con dorso always HASSELBLAD and I noted the Perdida from the centre to the outside of sharpness to the edge of the frame, and noticed also dominant greens and magenta, which is not known with the goal 40mm on 503cwd. The success of this

Guiseppe,
congratulations to your new camera! I know what fun that beast is.
In the menu of the CFV is a setting for the exposure time which the backs runs down every actuation. It is set to something like 1/8 second - as long as your shutter speed is shorter there is no need for the cord. When your shutter speed exceeds this time you have 2 options: a) use the cord b) change this setting to your exposure time. This is described in the manual.
Greetings Andy

Ciao handy
OK with X the answer I made this request because I have noted some differences with the setting on Synchro (cable) and (500), and I tell you that it is perhaps better work with the cord Synchro handy you are the first meeting in this forums and I hope not to make some Casino, I am preparing my site is still poor but do you wish to mention WWW: giuseppebaioni.com you work with the CWD?

First a happy new year to all u guys and gals.
Posted this again here as it seems to apply.
Yes I too just got my Kit 503 CWd. Inc 40mm +80mm
Answering a few questions. The results can most certainly be held on a par with negative.
There are some dominant colours which can be sorted with flexcolor.
Not had much time to give it a more thorough test due to the terrible weather we are having in the UK and my studio not being completed yet.
However here are a few of my first takes, taken mostly in spain. as wanted to test the 'Dynamic Range' more than anything.
Dont think we get sun in the UK (or at least forgot what it looks like.)
Anyway here are a selection of images. taken then and one (Mono Portrait) in an indoor situation with a metz 76 mz 5 flash. fired to the ceiling..
http://clikpic.smugmug.com/gallery/4075970#237417944
Overall tonality of the mono seem great and the Dynamic range is truly 12 stops plus.
Was going to buy the Nikon D3 as well but looking at the 503 results settled for the D300 for my sports and Jazz photography. The D300 cheaper as well.

A softer was used. and as I had to clone some ugly bits on the left hand side. I caused some blur.
But First time I used this camera with flash, or even a portrait.
Have always been a Nikon user until now.
Admit some problems with focusing with a softer on. But remembered someone on this site saying that they found results a bit sharp without.
Taken at christmas with a lot of people milling around so maybe next time.
However as I said this is just really one of the photo's i took just to test the camera under different situations.
When I try it in my studio which is being built, I will resubmit.
The other ex&les were literally my first attempts, much the same as others on here.

Speaking of portraits... and this might be off-topic because I don't know the camera or format, but would bet a prime lens that most, if not all, were medium format and larger... I think everyone here would enjoy this: http://glumbert.com/wii/view.php?name=womenfilm
